  1. 本周成人声乐班和儿童声乐班因故取消;

因黄思语老师家中有事,本周日成人声乐班(Vocal Lesson for Adult, 3-3:50pm )和儿童声乐 班(Vocal lesson for kids 4-4:50pm)均临时停课一次,黄老师会在其他时间为大家补课。请各 位相互转告!

  1. 4/7 火警虚报事件通报;

上周日下午2点多上课期间,一位低年级学生不小心拉响了Parkhouse一楼的火警警报。触 发了火警应急程序。导致几十个教室,近千人的课程被迫中断,紧急撤离大楼。严重影响 了教学,并导致了安全隐患。造成了很不好的影响。虽然在我们老师,助教,家长,同学 的共同努力下,大家有序撤离。学校团队协助校警查找火警触发点,消除虚警后,让大家 安全返回教室继续上课。 但损失是实实在在的。这已经是本学年第二次因未成年儿童无故 触发火警警报导致的撤离事件。 必须引起学校,老师和家长的高度重视。请老师和家长一 定和孩子强调,火警警报器不是玩具。学校正在根据MCCC的应急程序制定我们的撤离程 序。修订后将下发到每个班级。学校研究决定:将给与无故触发火警警报的孩子家庭250美 金的罚单。以示惩戒。我们的目的不是罚款,而是引起学生和家长的重视,力争杜绝这种 影响公共安全的事故。谢谢大家理解和支持。
